Strategy for Razorgore
Razorgore is one of the harder fights in Blackwing Lair, and is a notoriouspug-killer due to the high levels of coordination required. Make sure your raidhas a well thought out plan going in. In the Season of Masteryversion of this encounter there is now a large egg located in the center ofthe room that will spawn a Unstable Chromatic Drake. This mob must betanked away from the group and will require all members of the raid to be awareof the various ground effects it will spawn.
Razorgore is a two phase fight, where the first phase involves using the Orb of Dominationon top of the stone platform to have a player mind control Razorgore. That playerwill then need to run around the room, using Razorgore's abilities to destroy themany dragon eggs around the room. This phase will end when all of the eggs have beendestroyed.
You will want to have a tank control Razorgore, since the person controlling Razorgorewill be his first target once the mind control link is broken. While the tank isrunning Razorgore around and destroying his eggs, the rest of the raid will need toprotect Razorgore as swarms of orcs and dragonkin will come to attack Razorgore to stophim from killing the eggs. If Razorgore is killed before all of the eggs are destroyed,he will then enrage, instantly wiping your group. You will want to spread out yourmelee DPS and tanks to the corners of the room, placing them at each spawn point whereadds can come into the room. You should have no problems killing the waves of adds,with ranged DPS and healers more towards the center of the room, rotating as needed tohelp the groups of melee. Ranged specifically should be on the lookout for the largerdragonkin adds that spawn, as they require more focused DPS. As a general order, alwaysprioritize the dragonkin, then the mages, and then the melee adds.
Season of Mastery-only: After half of the eggs arebroken a Unstable Chromatic Drake will spawn from the large egg locatedin the center of the room. A tank should pick this up and pull it toward apredesignated corner of the room. Ideally you will be able to assign additionalmembers of your raid to this corner so they can continue to deal with the wavesof adds spawning as well as do some damage to the Unstable Chromatic Drake.The Drake deals a fair amount of melee damage but most of its damage is avoidable;as with most dragons it is important to make sure no one is in front of the Drakeexcept for the person tanking it.
The Unstable Chromatic Drake has five abilities to be aware of. Thefirst of these abilities is a randomly-targeted spell that will shoot a trail offire from the Drake to a player in the room. This will deal damage to the playertargeted and spawn a fire line which will deal damage to anyone standing in it.Second, the Drake will randomly target a player and spawn a dark shadowy puddlebeneath them dealing a massive amount of Shadow damage to anyone who stands in it.Third is a small cloud of green smoke that will spawn directly beneath the Drakeand slowly start moving throughout the room. Anyone who is hit by this greensmoke will be put to sleep for a short period. Fourth, the Drake will spawn areasof frozen ground in random areas of the room, slowing and dealing damage to anyplayer inside of the area. Finally the last ability that the Drake possesses isthe ability to spawn a small golden cloud. Standing inside of this highlightedarea will increase player's casting, ranged, and melee Haste by 100% so takingadvantage of these zones can be extremely beneficial.
After a few minutes of killing adds and using Razorgore to destroy his eggs, theroom should be almost clear. When there are one or two eggs left, the entire raidshould run to the same corner of the room where there are pillars that you can LoSbehind. The tank controlling Razorgore should then destroy the last few eggs, whichwill cause the mind control link from the orb to break, and Razorgore will run to attackthe tank that was controlling him. This tank should jump down and hold Razorgoretowards the middle, but within range of the pillars that the group is hiding behind.Once your tank has built sufficient threat, the raid can begin to attack. From thispoint on, there are only two main mechanics to watch out for: threat and Fireball Volley.Razorgore will occasionally use a high damage Fireball Volley, which will shoota Fireball at every person in line of sight. Before he casts this, everyone in the raidbesides the tanks should run out of LoS behind one of the pillars, dodging the cast.If the raid can not lose people to the Fireball Volley while also watching their threat,Razorgore should not pose a problem.
